I want to publish my app but I HAVE to have a login screen. Is there a workaround?

[Κωστας Μαυρογαλος]

Greetings,

Because I can't manually create a new refresh token every week(seeing as it's in "Testing"), I've decided to publish my app and I'm looking through the verification process.

Inside there, it states:"Your homepage must be publicly accessible, and not behind a sign-in page.".

Thing is, because my app is handling sensitive data(i.e. the total cost, IDs, names, current budgets etc of many accounts), I have to have a sign-in page so as to protect that data from prying eyes.

So, to that I ask, is there a workaround this? I'm more than happy to give access to the Google verification team to see how I use my app, but I can't make the app fully public, as I can't monitor who can enter the site and to what end.
Can I perhaps remove the sign-in page for the verification period and then reinstate it?

In short, what can be done in this case?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

With regards to your concern, as per the Steps to prepare for verification guide, one of the requirements for your homepage must be publicly accessible, and not behind a sign-in page.
